Need to end this today. If this goes back to San Diego, I don't think that it ends well

Wheeler has the occasional clunker, but hopefully not today. They are not going to score 10 today, but an early 2-3 would be great. Don't give the Padres any hope

Could be some rain today, but of bigger concern, going to be windy with the wind blowing in. Going to be a lot harder to score on HRs. They are going have to generate runs other ways.

So Kyle doesn’t hit it out of the stadium today ?

Looks like it could be real rainy around 4 and continue all evening.

Obviously worst case scenario would be them starting the game and then it gets delayed in the middle and Wheeler gets lost

If it got postponed until tomorrow afternoon, that would change the pitching dynamics significantly.

Gonna have to play some small ball today with the weather. I think it's tough on both teams.

Get the AED's, and Maalox. The Cardiac Kids will be in full effect today.

Much as he’d like to be with his teammates, Nola has to be on a plane to San Diego now, right? I’m sure Snell is

Rob Thomson said he’s pretty confident Game 5 will not start unless there is a 3-4 hour window to play. Phillies don’t want to lose Zack Wheeler. Padres don’t want to lose Yu Darvish.

Its 100% MLB’s call on starting right?
All the pressure remains on Pads. If we “lose” Wheeler, go for the finish with an inning apiece from Thor & Eflin, then Alvarado/Dominguez
